Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov addressed the sellout crowd inside Barclays Center before the Nets played their first playoff game since he bought the team against the Bulls on Saturday night.

“Hello everyone,” kbegan Prokhorov, dressed all in black to go with the team's "Blackout in Brooklyn" campaign, at center court. “I heard there is a blackout here in Brooklyn. I came to keep the lights on.

“I want to say to our team, let’s keep fighting in the playoffs. And I want to say to every Nets fan, thank you for your passion and for your support this season.
